OVERVIEW - DAVYHURST PROJECT OPERATIONS REPORT The Davyhurst Project includes both open cut and underground mining targets and is located 120 kilometres north-west of Kalgoorlie. During the March quarter, ramping up activities continued within the 1.2Mtpa gold processing plant, the Davyhurst Mill, with 72,183 tonnes at 1.48g/t treated. March delivered the strongest in results with an increased plant head grade of 1.69g/t and increased through-put rates achieved. Underground mining continues to progress well at Golden Eagle, with total development

of 370 metres for the quarter. The decline has advanced past the second level (355 Level)

in the mine with ore development now well established. Ore development has been

completed on the first level (375 Level), with ore production commenced.

A 3,500 metre underground drilling program targeting the Golden Eagle Central Shoot has commenced, with 933 metres completed during the quarter. Samples have been processed and submitted to the laboratory for assay. Siberia open pit mining operations resumed in February, with the focus on the southern

cut back of the Sandking pit. Material movement has progressed well in this free digging

oxide portion of the pit. Additional grade control drilling has been conducted over the

near surface laterite ores situated east of the pit, all of which sits outside the pre-mining

ore reserve. Additional drilling is planned targeting mineralised extensions to the south-

east.

On the ground, resource development and explorations works recommenced in March, with the drilling contractor mobilising two drilling rigs to site. On start‐up, drilling crews were deployed to the Riverina deposit, with exploration works at Menzies.

Processing Operations

Ore milled for the quarter totalled 72,183 tonnes at 1.48g/t for 3,430 ounces. The plant experienced significant downtime with a total of 31.5 days were lost for the period, principally relating to:

• An adverse weather event ‐ A total of 11 days were lost due to an extreme adverse weather event

• Plant operational issues – A total of 20.5 days were lost due to mill downtime

The site was impacted by a severe weather event that initially struck the site on 11 February 2018. Heavy rain continued over an extended period of time, impacting processing, supply and surface haulage operations as a result of damage to critical road infrastructure. Direct operational impacts resulted in 11 days of mill downtime, although material handling issues relating to wet feed stock persisted past this point, resulting in reduced feed rates for a further 3 days. An additional 20.5 days were lost to operational issues within the plant. These included, but were not limited to, electrical faults, mechanical faults, mechanical failures and blockages. The operational staff remain focussed on improving plant availability, with additional maintenance resources now deployed to site to assist in these endeavours. The focus of the specialised contractor will be to:

• correct any residual defects left over from the refurbishment process

• review and identify key areas for improvement for the plant (optimisation)

• review and strengthen the maintenance plans and requirements

Underground Mining Underground mining continued to progress well at Golden Eagle, with the capital decline development passing the second level (355 Level). Cross cut development on the 355 Level successfully intersected the main ore horizon, with ore drive development commenced prior to the end of the quarter. Ore development was completed on the first level (375 Level), with production drilling and initial ore production commencing during the reporting period. The first level (375) delivered pleasing results, with the main ore lode (Quartz‐Feldspar Lode, or QFL) returning consistency in both grade and geometry. To the north, ore development was extended past the defined limit of the resource model by an additional 53 metres due to grade extensions on the main mineralised lode surface. Following an internal review of the mine design, an additional ore development level (395 Level) above the 375 Level was incorporated into the mine plan. This level will be accessed from the north wall of the open pit and targets additional stoping ore that was previously excluded from the original mining model. Ultimately this re‐design will result in an increase to the planned mined ounces, although some ore production scheduled for the March 2018 quarter has been deferred until the June 2018 quarter as a result of the change. Emergency response training of site personnel was undertaken during the reporting period. Importantly for the stoping schedule, secondary egress for the underground mine was also established. A 3,500 metre underground drilling program has commenced, with good productivity rates achieved to date. The six week program targets the down plunge continuation to the Central Shoot, and will utilise a combination of diamond and underground reverse circulation drilling. A total of 933 metres was completed during the quarter, with samples now processed and submitted to the laboratory for assay.

Open Pit Mining Siberia open pit mining operations resumed in February, with the focus on the southern cut back of the Sandking

pit. Material movement has progressed well in this free digging oxide portion of the pit. The first significant in-pit

grade control event is planned for May, with ore production scheduled from that point forward.

Additional grade control drilling was conducted over the near surface laterite ores situated east of the pit. This

area will be targeted as a source of ore in early April, all of which sits outside of the larger open pit Reserve model.

Drilling outside of the immediate mining area has identified extensions to this mineralisation. This will be followed

up with some additional infill drilling. Recent metallurgical testing of the Siberia laterites indicates recoveries in

excess of 92% for this material.

Infill drilling on the Sandking low grade dump is planned for April.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT UPDATE

Drilling operations recommenced in March, with the drilling contractor mobilising two drilling rigs to site. On start‐up, drilling crews were deployed to the Riverina deposit, with exploration works at Menzies. The Riverina Project area is located approximately 48 kilometres north of the Davyhurst Mill, and has a current Mineral Resource estimate of 2.6Mt @ 2.5g/t Au for 205,000 ounces. It is one of several high priority drilling targets within the Company’s Davyhurst Project and is seen as the next open pit mining focus following on from Siberia. Drilling is designed to infill and upgrade the existing Mineral Resource in accordance with the JORC Code 2012. Opportunities exist to expand and extend the known resource into areas currently constrained by a lack of drilling coverage. An external consultant has been engaged to complete an updated Mineral Resource estimation in accordance with JORC Code 2012 of the Callion deposit, which is located approximately 13 km from the Davyhurst Mill and contains a Mineral Resource of 169,000 tonnes at 2.6g/t for 14,000 ounces. This process is well advanced, with a Resource update scheduled for the June 2018 quarter. This update will aim to quantify both the open pit resource and the larger underground resource which currently remains open at depth. Following on from the Resource update, a mining study will commenced aimed at quantifying both open pit and underground mining potential for this deposit. The Waihi Mineral Resource estimation update process will follow. The Waihi Complex, located approximately 3 kilometres from the Davyhurst Mill, has been identified as an area containing significant potential to provide high grade underground feed to complement the open pit.

EXPLORATION UPDATE During the quarter, the Company continued to progress the regional strategy, outlined below:

• Prioritise some 200+ prospects for drilling

• Prioritise early diamond drilling of prospects to identify mineralisation controls

• Acquire and compile detailed geophysical data

• Compile regional 1:25000 solid geology mapping

• Ongoing 1:5000 and 1:10000 geological project mapping for compilation

• Ongoing historic drilling and geochemical sampling data acquisition and validation

• Ongoing review of regolith and historical sampling efficacy

• Ongoing auger geochemistry acquisition

• Systematic pXRF and spectral data acquisition from all available archival material

• Establish regional end of hole (EOH), top of fresh rock (TOFR), and base of transported cover

multi‐ element geochemistry

• Establish regional fresh rock spectral dataset for alteration analysis

• Complete structural and genetic model

The Company recently completed diamond tail drilling of the Lady Irene prospect immediately north of Menzies and has commencing drilling of three diamond holes into the known shoots at the historic Yunndaga prospect in Menzies, under the Joint Venture agreement with Intermin.

Diamond drilling at Lady Irene prospect, 2018

The multipurpose rig will then move to the Mount Ida area to complete single holes at the Gordon and Bombay prospects. A shift south to the Mulline project will follow, where holes are planned at Peachtree, Lady Gladys, the Mulline offset target, and at the Young Australia prospect. Upon completion, the drill rig will move south‐east to the Timber Flat area, where two holes will be drilled at the Little Wonder prospect, to establish mineralisation controls and assist targeting of very high grade repetitions to the known mineralisation. A further hole is planned south of Callion at the Gila prospect. Diamond drilling of the Siberia‐Keiths trend, including the Siberia‐Consols area, is planned but will utilise the diamond‐only drill rig as it becomes available from the Resource Development team.

CORPORATE Placement On 5 February 2018, the Company issued 87,500,000 shares to Hawke’s Point at a price of $0.20 per share, with corresponding 1 for 1 free attaching unlisted options to acquire shares in the Company (Options). The Options were issued in two tranches, with one half of the Options having an exercise price of $0.25 and the other half having an exercise price of $0.275, and an expiry date of 5 years after issue subject to an accelerated expiry date should certain objective conditions be met.

Completion of the Placement occurred on 2 February 2018, and total funds raised under the Placement amounted to $30.57 million (before costs). Rights Issue Following the Placement, the Company completed a Right Issue to existing shareholders at an issue price of $0.20 per New Share on the basis of 1 New Share for every 20 existing fully paid ordinary shares, together with a free attaching Option per New Share acquired. On 26 February 2018, the Company advised that it received valid applications under the Rights Issue for 11,247,806 New Shares from shareholders, leaving a shortfall of 24,676,464 shares and options (Shortfall Securities). In addition, the Company received additional applications from existing shareholders for a further 2,773,497 New Shares in accordance with section 2.9 of the prospectus dated 1 February 2018 (as supplemented by the supplementary prospectus dated 20 February 2018) (Prospectus). The Rights Issue was partially underwritten by Investmet Limited and 11,000,000 New Shares and 11,000,000 options were issued to the underwriter. A total of approximately $5.0 million has been raised under the Rights Issue and underwriting. The balance of the shortfall of approximately $2.0 million is available to place until 21 May 2018 GRES On 12 July 2017, the Company received a writ of summons for proceedings in the Supreme Court of Western Australia commenced by GR Engineering Services (GRES) in relation to the Davyhurst Gold Project refurbishment contract entered into by GRES and the Company on 22 September 2016. The Order made by the Supreme Court of Western Australia to wind up Eastern Goldfields was subsequently set aside and the winding up process terminated with the Company returned to its Directors (ASX announcement 17 August 2017). The Company provided further updates on the status of these proceedings on 24 and 25 January 2018. Investec Repayment During the quarter, $5 million was repaid to Investec Australia Limited. Re-instatement to Quotation Post the end of the quarter, on Tuesday 17 April 2018, the Company was reinstated to official quotation on ASX.

OUTLOOK Currently, the Company is moving towards steady state production based on treatment of existing low and medium grade surface stockpiles. The Company expects to ramp up production during the March quarter, based on the introduction of higher grade open pit feed from the Siberia Mining Centre and ore becoming available from the Golden Eagle underground operation.
